Frequently Asked Questions

When you experience stress, your body activates a survival response—muscles tense, heart rate increases, energy mobilizes. If that response doesn't complete (you don't run, fight, or otherwise discharge the energy), the activation gets 'stuck.' Over time, this shows up as chronic tension, anxiety, sleep issues, and that constant feeling of being on edge—even when nothing is actually wrong.

Your nervous system doesn't have an automatic reset button. Once it activates for protection, it stays activated until it gets a signal that the threat has passed. Modern stress rarely gives that signal—we 'handle it' mentally but the body never gets to complete its stress cycle. So the tension accumulates, layer by layer, year by year.

This is based on neuroscience and our understanding of the autonomic nervous system. Research on stress, trauma, and the body has exploded in the last two decades. Scientists now understand that the body and mind are in constant communication—and that physical tension actually maintains psychological stress. This isn't woo-woo; it's biology.

Most adults in modern society carry some degree of stored tension. If you've experienced ongoing work pressure, relationship stress, financial worry, health scares, or any significant life challenges—and didn't have a way to physically discharge that stress—it's likely still affecting your body. The question is usually how much, not whether.

Most approaches work 'top-down'—they try to use your mind to calm your body. Our method works 'bottom-up'—it helps your body release stored tension directly, which then calms your mind. This is why it can work when meditation feels impossible or therapy only goes so far. You don't need to think your way to calm; your body does the work.

The program teaches you a simple method you can do at home in about 30 minutes. It doesn't require special equipment, flexibility, or prior experience. You'll learn the science behind why stress gets stuck, how your body naturally releases it, and a practice you can use whenever you need it.

You can learn the basics in your first session. Most people notice meaningful changes within the first week of consistent practice. For some, deeper changes may take a few weeks. The program builds a sustainable practice for ongoing stress management.

The method is gentle and most people find it accessible. However, we recommend consulting with a healthcare provider first if you have a history of seizures, are pregnant, have had recent surgery, are in active treatment for complex trauma, or take medications that affect the nervous system. The program includes guidance on practicing safely.

Most people feel meaningful relief within the first week of consistent practice. For some, deeper changes take a few weeks. This isn't instant magic—it's real, sustainable stress release that builds over time. Results depend on factors like how much tension you're carrying and how consistently you practice.

Common experiences include warmth spreading through the body, muscles releasing that you didn't know were tense, deep spontaneous sighs or yawns, and a sense of calm or relaxation. Some people feel emotional release. Everyone's experience is different, and your body will release at its own pace.

For best results, we recommend 2-3 times per week for the first month. Each session is about 30 minutes. After that, you can adjust based on your needs—some people practice daily, others weekly, others as-needed when stress builds up.
